Avatar: The Way Of Water - 22 WTF Moments

5. Scoresby Gets His Arm Ripped Off

Perhaps the truly most WTF moment in the entire movie occurs at the end of this aquatic clash, when Scorsesby attempts to shoot Payakan once again, but the tulkun leaps out of the water and snags his boat on a steel cable.

The cable rips through the boat and clings to Scorseby's arm, the force eventually ripping his arm off and catapulting a helpless Scorsesby into the drink, killing him.

For a PG-13 movie, that is one hell of a brutal demise, and one of the most shockingly violent moments from any blockbuster in recent memory. The censors sure were lenient on this one.
